"Hi, it's me. It's a kind of bad situation at downtown right now.. I guess it will take some hours so don't wait for me at home. Love you, bye."
Megamind turned off the voicemail and let out a deep sigh. He slouched back to the kitchen and blew out the candles he had lighted only ten minutes ago. He also cleaned the setting off, placing plates, cutleries and wine glasses back to cupboard. He stared blankly at now empty table which was only one moment ago promised there would be a nice and romantic evening between he and his love. Oh how he had wished but telling the truth it wasn't surprising him, not at all when he remembered all the empty promises he had heard during last weeks.
He went to the bedroom and unbuttoned his dark blue dress shirt, setting the garment on the back rest of the chair before he started to strip off his boots and black leather pants.
Why had he been so stupid he thought this evening would be different? He thought bitterly while dressed a black t-shirt and collapsed on the bed staring at the ceiling.
It had gone like this weeks, actually months now. First he had thought it was just his work which was keeping him busy, probably because Megamind had given up being bad since they started to date. It seemed other criminals noticed they were allowed to try take over the city when Megamind was apparently retired and that's why Metro Man was busy.
Yeah, it was like this a long time but lately Megamind had started feel really uncertain in their relationship. He couldn't remember when they had last time had a date. Though they couldn't go out in public they had often flew on the outskirts staring at the stars and snuggle on the field or went walk on the beach and shared sweet kisses on the bench of the nightly park. Recently they haven't done anything like that, Megamind couldn't even remember when was the last time they had a real conversation.
He sighed again and turned on his right side, curling into a fetal position. Lately the hero had been really stressed and Megamind felt like he didn't care about him at all. He had several times hinted it would be nice to do something together like have a dinner, watch a movie or take a bath. And every time Wayne had promised he would spend more time with him, he promised to make time for them. And every time Megamind believed his words and every time he disappointed, just like tonight.
Wayne had sincerely promised to dine with him and Megamind had been so happy he had left earlier home from work so he'd had time to get ready for the evening. Though he wasn't a criminal anymore he still invented things and performed different chemical tests which could be useful in the future. He even believed his inventions could maybe help his boyfriend someday. But once again this named boyfriend had let him down by empty promises. He really had waited tonight, he had prepared a sushi for dinner, he had bought candles and dressed his best shirt. All for nothing.
But the saddest thing was when he found out there was a message in his voicemail and he knew already from whom it was and what was the content. He had never wished so much he was wrong. But no, that was Wayne who told he wasn't coming and Megamind shouldn't wait him, it was once again his work.
Work, work, work. How pissed off Megamind was with that word. How hard it was to make a one night for him, was it too much to ask? They wouldn't need to do anything, they could just sit side by side on the couch and say nothing to each other. How hard it was to understand he missed his boyfriend. He missed his company and closeness. Didn't he miss him?
The thought made Megamind's heart twist painfully. What if it was because of him? What if the work was only an excuse so he didn't need to spend time with him? What if he didn't love him anymore? Megamind felt how the wave of anxiety swept over him. 'Oh god, does he love me anymore? What if.. What if he has someone else? Someone better than me..?'
He felt how the hot tears filled his eyes. 'What if he's right now dining with someone else, chatting happily and laughing with him.. Kissing him..'
Megamind burrowed under the blanket and started to sob hopelessly. He tried to remember when was the last time they had sex.. It was.. He couldn't remember, an eternity ago.
He glanced at the clock standing on the nightstand. Through the tears he could see it was 11:23 pm. He thought should he wait when Wayne would get back at home.
'What if he won't come?'
Desperately he stared at the clock, watching how the numbers changed on a dial. Soon it was a midnight and hopeless thoughts were swirling in his mind when he was pondering where his boyfriend was, what he was doing and with who?
He tried desperately fight against the sleep when the clock came to 1:37 am. 'Must stay awake.. ' He thought wearily but along a next yawn he drifted off to restless sleep and never heard when his boyfriend arrived.
